Repeater START - Showing The Amateur Repeaters Tool

This tool displays all the repeaters available through the repeater listing at https://hearham.com/repeaters

Support for searching for a Maidenhead-grid-square coordinate, WhatThreeWords Position, a mountain or peak on Openstreetmap, repeater frequency/IRLP node, or finding your current location, is included.

You can download this program for Windows 8, Windows 10, recent Ubuntu and Debian based systems at https://sourceforge.net/projects/repeater-start/ Simply download and open the file, select install. OR, if you prefer command line:

sudo dpkg -i ./repeater-start_0.7_all.deb

Development

Linux computer/phone:

This is written in Python for GTK+. If you run it you should have:

  • Geoclue introspection - for getting your location easily.
  • libosmgpsmap introspection - for the maps widget display.

Then just run "python3 repeaterstart.py"

Windows:

Much of this will run on Windows. Check out the "windows" branch which has Geoclue locate-me button removed, and runs in msys2.

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-osm-gps-map
pacman -S python3
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python-gobject

are requirements, for the map library and Python. Run with mingw python in the msys2 console:

cd src
/mingw64/bin/python3.exe ./repeaterstart.py

Android:

Android port is available on Github! Please see here for details.
